1/25 = 4%
A fraction like 1/25, or 4%, can show up in everyday life as a small chance or portion. For example, a store might offer a 4% discount, or a survey might find that 1 out of every 25 people prefers a certain option.
To picture 1/25 quickly, imagine 25 equal squares with just 1 square shaded. You can also think of a group of 100 items and picture 4 of them highlighted, which makes the size feel small but noticeable.
A common mistake is to think 1/25 is the same as 1/20 because both represent a small amount. Since 25 is larger than 20, 1/25 is actually smaller than 1/20.
